Asalaamu Alaikum,
Shows he(pbuh) used to think of us before we even existed;
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“I wish that I could meet my brothers.” The Sahaabah asked: “Aren’t we your brothers?” He replied: “You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who will believe in me without having seen me.”
